Religion is a hypothesis.

Quote from piezoe:

Well at least there is something almost intelligent being added to this otherwise absurd thread.

Mathematics is an invention of man, just as typing is an invention of man. It is not a discovery, but to say so is less of a transgression than equating mathematics with science, which -- shudder-- will make a theoretical mathematician's skin crawl. Mathematics is NOT science, but rather a tool used by scientists. If you go and talk to a pure mathematician, a theorist, you will find that they usually have no interest in applications, but seldom object if someone else applies their mathematics, so long as they don't have to do it themselves.
You've completely misunderstood 777, piezoe. He wasn't talking about pure mathematics being independent of physical applications. He was talking about mathematics being completely independent of the physical world. He actually believes (or pretends to believe) "mathematical truths" predated the physical universe, and were waiting to be "discovered" by man. He is convinced that mathematics would exist regardless of life ... or of matter and energy. :S
 
So mathematical truths predated the so called big bang...

LOL!!!

Too funny...

So if the physical universe went back to its "pre big bang status" 1+1 would no longer =2.

My goodness, this is just too rich...

There is a branch of mathematics where

1 + 1 = 1

but I wouldn't expect someone of your ignorance to even begin to fathom that. Your assumptions about math, science and everything are so simple-minded, it's a wonder you can even reply to this forum.
 
Fully explain why 1 + 1 = 1 without a cut and paste job.

ROTFLMAO...

Fully explain why gravity can't be measured without a cut-and-paste job.

I knew you would fail miserably...

Let me bottom line this:

You don't know what the hell you are talking about. You bring things up that you can't explain, because you don't really understand them.

If you can't explain it in your own terms, then you don't understand it, you don't own it, and you are just a drone or a parrot...

Typical atheist who quotes science but doesn't have a clue how to explain it...because they are just as much of a parrot as a Jesus freak quoting the Bible...

All you've proven in this thread is that you don't know jackshit. You are the very mook that you describe above.

1 + 1 =1 in Boolean Algebra

Not holding my breath waiting for YOU to explain why gravity can't be measured.
 
Quote from Ricter:

We have problem people in both camps that want nothing more than the disappearance of the other camp. In my opinion, I doubt I'm alone, these camps can coexist.
Coexist Ricter? Like the will to believe and the logic to doubt, they each exist but do they coexist?

In the same way the will to believe in Mother Goose is not normally considered to be a healthy thing for an adult, unless tempered by the logic to doubt it.

Maybe a sort of coexistence - of separate and opposing unequal parts.
 
Quote from jficquette:

Stu, the evidence a Creator is all around. It's silly to think that there is not one. You have all creation staring you in the face and you want to argue that all this just came out of nowhere.

The evidence for a Universe is all around, not a Creator. Evidence of a Universe is not evidence of a Creator.. You have a Universe staring you in the face , not a Creator., and because of that fact you want to argue what... that a Creator just came out of nowhere.?
No?
A Creator was always there ?
What , like a Universe that exists and was always there.
No?
Why? Is it because, a thing can only always exist when there is no such evidence for it as there is for the Universe.?
 
Quote from Ricter:

That to me is the starting point for these arguments. There are those on one side with an overwhelming sense of the fantastic of the very fact of existence, and those on the other side for whom all this is, "it's nothing but, it's nothing but..."
Are you saying those on one side with an overwhelming sense of the fantastic in realization that the Universe exists, and those on the other side for whom all this is, "it's nothing but, it's nothing but..." ….. creator god?
